Multi-scanning with over 30 Anti-malware Engines

Relying on a single anti-malware engine is no longer sufficient for high-security networks. Constant targeting by attackers, the increase in advanced threats, and the skyrocketing growth of malware necessitate defense in depth. Our on-premises deployments of Metadefender (30+ engines) deliver maximum protection for thousands of customers across banking, federal government, military, healthcare, and other high-security enterprises. As a proof of concept for our multi-scanning technology, we offer limited file, hash, and IP scanning on Metadefender.com supported by 40+ anti-malware engines.

Improve Detection and Prevention of Threats

Adding additional anti-malware engines that leverage both signatures and heuristics increases detection rates. However, the right number of engines depends on the value of data being protected and the severity and frequency of attacks. Metadefender.com is a public implementation of Metadefender’s multi-scanning capabilities. Check out live comparisons of the top 10,000 malware threats across Metadefender engine packages, or upload your own file to scan it with 40+ engines.

Significantly Reduce Time of Outbreak Exposure

Increasing detection rates is an important step in reducing malware infections. However, during malware outbreaks, the timing of when an organization’s solution is able to detect a new threat is crucial. Even incremental changes in detection rates can mask the days, weeks, or months it can take various anti-malware engines to respond to emerging threats.

For example, Nemucod.KP Trojan (safe link) was initially detected by 3 engines on March 16th, 2016. Within two days, 11 engines detected the threat and after a week 16 engines could. However, months later, 24 engines still were not able to identify Nemucod.KP. Lapses in detection like this are cause for concern because they expose those organizations using a single anti-malware engine that hasn't yet detected the threat.
